Chapter 204: A Little Abacus
Listening to Brother Chen Kai's admission, Wang Kefan didn't want to leave in a hurry.
Last time, I won an award with a technical surname in Cannes, and after returning to China, I was praised as "a talent once in ten years at the Chinese Film Festival".
You must know that the theme song of the movie does not participate in the film awards, and there is not even a small award.
This was the case last time, "Blood Soul" was so popular in Europe, and in the end, except for the euro, it didn't even get a fart in other aspects. Therefore, the treatment of simple pop musicians and musicians engaged in film music is too far away. is also a songwriter, Hisaishi can be a judge of the Cannes Film Festival, and Xie Tingfeng can only be a judge of a fast man.
Wang Kefan pondered in his heart that no matter what happened this time, he would have to take advantage of a loophole and mix up with this group of musicians who are really engaged in art, if the symphony is done well, the world will recognize you, pop music is at most to make some money, but your name will never be left in the history books. MJ knows it all over the world, but he is not mentioned in middle school textbooks, so Wang Kefan doesn't want to do this.
To stand and make money. Director Jiang Wen said the voice of all those who are engaged in art a few years ago - I want you to flatter me, but also to make my pockets bulge. Spiritual civilization and material civilization are not wrong.
After the recording, Wang Kefan took Wei Yunhu to the hotel where Brother Chen Kai was staying.
It was the meal, and Brother Chen Kai proposed to invite two people to dinner.
Wang Kefan was looking for an opportunity to mention the Venice Film Festival to Chen Kaige, but of course he readily agreed.
Chen Hong was called down by Brother Chen Kai, since the two of them were together, Brother Chen Kai always took her with him when he went out.
The goddess more than ten years ago, who was already dying, and the maintenance she did every day still failed to beat the pig-killing knife of the years, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes cruelly revealed the fact that she was over 40 years old.
Seeing Chen Hong, Wang Kefan stepped forward to say hello very politely, Chen Hong was very surprised that Wang Kefan in reality actually looked like this, but after all, he had seen all kinds of markets, and he was a little stunned, and he was calm.
Wang Kefan greeted Chen Hong very politely and said, "Teacher Chen, I grew up watching your plays, and when I watched "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", I was probably only in junior high school. ”
Chen Hong shook his head and smiled: "Don't say it, as soon as you say it, I know that I am already so old, torturing me to death." ”
Brother Chen Kai hugged her shoulders and said, "I don't think you are old." ”
Chen Hong generously laughed with Brother Chen Kai: "You are an old man, of course you think I am not old, but young people nowadays don't buy my account!" Wang Kefan, did you say? ”
Wang Kefan said with a serious face: "I will always be a fan of Teacher Chen. ”
Chen Hong laughed.
The four of them found a restaurant with a fairly good reputation on Huaihai Road, where foreigners live, and the arrival of Brother Chen Kai did not cause any big sensation, after all, it is a magic capital, and there are all kinds of demons and monsters, and it is not uncommon for the director to be a creature. As for Wang Kefan, he was regarded as a follower at all.
The hotel manager politely came out to say hello to Chen Kaige and his wife, and then went back to his office.
didn't wait for a while, after the food came up, Brother Chen Kai was drinking wine while talking to Wang Kefan about the recent events in the entertainment industry.
What Feng Xiaogang is not afraid of death to take on the thankless work of the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Changchun played a big name and was taught a lesson by Uncle Zhao, the master, there is a lot of gossip, Wang Kefan actually listened very seriously.
As he spoke, the topic unconsciously shifted to the new movie.
Brother Chen Kai said to Wang Kefan: "My Xiaohong is playing the heroine this time. ”
"There are only 2 women in this film who have lines, and I was killed in less than 5 minutes after I appeared, and you are embarrassed to say it!"
Chen Hong was angry and cried out for injustice, Wang Kefan understood it now, and the lover of the martial artist was played by Chen Hong.
Wang Kefan smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Chen, this is written in the script, and Director Chen can't help it." ”
"That's it!" Chen Kaige said, "I've tried my best, if I change to another director to shoot, you can go down in 2 minutes at most!" ”
"See what you can." Chen Hong glanced at her husband and asked Wang Kefan again, "Wang Kefan, have you watched Brother Kai's films?" ”
Wei Yunhu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I have watched, "A Bloody Case Full of Causes"! ”
At this moment, the whole world fell silent.
Brother Chen Kai's old face turned red, Chen Hong's face was expressionless, and Wang Kefan lowered his face in shame.
I knew that Wei Yunhu couldn't control it at all, so he should have let him watch the plane instead of the old man at school...... After being silent for a moment, Wang Kefan took a deep breath and apologized to the two opposite: "I'm sorry, he has been a soldier in the army and has no chance to watch movies." Huzi, don't apologize quickly, it wasn't taken by Director Chen! ”
When Wei Yunhu heard this, he smiled very boldly: "Director Chen, don't mind, I made a mistake." ”
Brother Chen Kai didn't mean to see Wei Yunhu, nodded, and revealed it.
Wang Kefan was very clever at this time to talk about "Farewell My Concubine", and as soon as he talked about this, Chen Kaige's unhappiness immediately disappeared.
Wang Kefan praised "Farewell My Concubine" from beginning to end, and every sentence scratched Chen Kaige's heart and said, Chen Kaige laughed constantly, nodding frequently, Wang Kefan said that after his mouth was dry, he picked up the wine glass and dried it up, and finally concluded: "I think it is difficult for Chinese filmmakers to copy a film like "Farewell My Concubine", Director Chen, that should be your most proud work, right?" ”
Unexpectedly, Brother Chen Kai, who was drunk, actually shook his head and said seriously: "No, the "Moon Gaze" just filmed is what I am most proud of." ”
Wang Kefan said seemingly unintentionally: "Hearing Director Chen say this, I really want to see it now." ”
When Brother Chen Kai heard this, he immediately said: "What's so difficult about this, when we finish eating, let's go back and see." However, this is a DVD version, and the effect is not as good as that of the theater. ”
Wang Kefan was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's really good, Huzi, take a look seriously in a while, what is a master-level work!" ”
Wei Yunhu smiled, lowered his head, and continued to eat his meal.
The meal was hurried over, and the four of them returned to the hotel.
Back in the room, Brother Chen Kai turned on the computer and said to Wang Kefan very seriously: "Kefan, it's okay to watch, but you can't give me spoilers." ”
"Where is Director Chen, how could I do that kind of thing!"
Wang Kefan replied with a smile, but muttered with compassion in his heart: After watching it for a while, this movie will probably have to be re-cut. Director Chen, are you confused......
